Biography
Sumayyah bint Khayyat was born in 550, and she married Yasir ibn Amir. She was a slave in the possession of Abu Hudhaifah ibn al-Mughirah, and Abu Hudhaifah gave her to Yasir as a wife. Along with Muhammad, Abu Bakr, Bilal ibn Rabah, Khabbab ibn al-Aratt, Suhayb ar-Rumi, and her son Ammar ibn Amir, she was one of the first Muslims, and her family of ex-slaves were persecuted after Abu Hudhaifah's death. The pagan leader Abu Jahr had her tied to the ground and impaled through the chest with a spear after she refused to renounce Muhammad's teachings.
